Crowdstrike: Son, we live in a world that has threats, and those threats have to be defeated by men with EDR. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Windows Defender?
I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for the OS, and you curse the Falcon EDR. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that the OS's death, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall -- you need me on that wall.
We use words like "APTs," "threat actor," "TTPs." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line.
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very functionality that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a console and stand the post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you're entitled to!
Microsoft: Did you order the Blue Screen
Crowdstrike: I did the job --
Microsoft: -- Did you order the Blue Screen?!
Crowdstrike: YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DID!!!
Ouch. And they quoted his extraordinarily tone deaf tweet.

Kind of botched that last one - here's one with at least a little better grammar.
Well worth considering - with current and future events.
Also - +1 for invoking Hitchen's razor

Jose A LermaHas anyone examined the timelines in this case for any potential causal indicators? i.e.
Bob Newhart's death ->
Microsoft Outage ->
CloudStrikeMageddon?
